I had only have problems with this car. Once, I almost crash because the car stopped in a highway (problems with the gas pump!!!) less that 18 months after I got it The design is fun but the car is not reliable, everything that can go wrong with a car will be wrong with this one
Good Car

For the first 20K miles no trouble. Head gasket started leaking, but was repaired under warranty at no cost. 20K to 83K miles, no trouble. Put on tires, oil changes, wiper blades and a new battery. 50K miles replaced front rotors and pads $65.00 doing the work myself. 83K miles rear main seal leaks bad. $350.00 at the dealer. Auto trans. shifting problem. Dealer said problem was a shaft on trans. shift lever and gas pedal connected to. Told to spray shaft with WD-40 and move it until it moved freely. $0.00 84.5K replaced rear brake drums and shoes. $80.00. I have had good service from my Neon. It gets 30 MPG Highway/city driving.

This was my second car ever. Went in, had a fun drive with it, and bought it. Only major issue was the head gasket leak which was caused by a poor design. Replaced the old head gasket with a new MLS one, no problem since. A minor issue was a new valve cover gasket replaced after 75k miles. $30 and 30 minutes in your driveway will take care of this, no big deal. This was my first Neon of two and I plan on buying another. They're fairly common part cars and easy to fix. I love the DOHC engine but the 3-speed automatic can be a slouch at times. Keep up with your oil changes and a Neon will last you a long time.
Wait

This car has givin me nothing but major trouble. I bought it slightly used at 2,102 miles and after 5 days of owning it my sunroof quit. The next 3 years the transmission made gringing noises. This car stinks!

My neon was fine when I brought it home but soon after the head gasket had to be replaced because of faulty materials used in manufacturing. I did some research and discovered this same material was used in all neons from 95- 99, so all Neons before 2000 have the potential for this happening to them. After it was replaced, everything started coming apart and I've had about 5 things replaced on the engine. I have had an oil leak since this all happened and the dealership cannot find out why, they have all been a pain in my butt ever since I bought this thing. I will never buy from Dodge again! Beware, if you buy a neon, dont buy one from before 2000.
